The Spirit of the Man Who Succeeds and
the Traits of Him Who Fails.
81 There is only one spirit that achieves
a great success. The man who seeks
only how to make himself most useful,
whose aim is to render himself indis-
pensable to his employer, whose whole
being is animated with the purpose to
fill the largest possible place in the
walk assigned to him, has in the ex-
hibition of that spirit the guarantee of
success. He commands the situation,
and shall walk in the light of pros
perity all his days. On the other hand,
the man who accepts the I'M
wholesome advice of the demagogue
and seeks only how little he may do,
and how easy he may render his place
and not lose his employment altogether,
is unfit for service. As soon as there
is supernumerary on the list he be-
comes disengaged as least valuable to
his employer. The man who is afraid
of doing too much is near of kin to him
who seeks to do nothing, and was begot
in the same family. They are neither
of them in the remotest degree rela-
ton to the man whose willingness to
do every thing possible to his touch

and run after the owner to return it
to him. But how happens it that you
have not found Mr.. Richards - my

Here Mr.. Jones stopped abruptly,
and began staring very hard at the
few remaining passengers who were
running the gauntlet of throng Of
penned-up hackmen, vociferating in
different keys.
"Why, confound it!'' he exclaimed,
'here I've been standing talking, and
let Richards march off uptown with
his head so full OF business that he's
forgotten I'm anywhere in existence!
But it's all right went on, thrust
ing his hand into an inside pocket as
he spoke-''for when Richards tele-
graphed back from Jersey City to the
Broad Street station, he offered ten
dollars for the return of the papers.
So, if / give you the money and take
the bag. it'll be just the same, besides
saving you a long walk uptown, eh?'
But Tad cheerfully replied that he
didn't mind the walk, particularly as
he wanted to see what the town was
like. ''Boston's quite a little place,
after all, he patronizingly remarked,
with glance at the busy streets.
Mr.. Jones warmly commended Tad's

SUGAR IMPORTS.
A Primitive Situation That Should BE Sur

A Primitive Situation That should Be Sur
mounted by American Farmers.
The report of Mr.. j. r. Dodge, sta
tistician of the United States Agricult-
ural Department, on the sugar pro-
duction of the world, contains some in
teresting data. According to the figures
presented, the amount of beet-root
sugar produced in the season of 1SS6-87
exceeds the cane sugar by 10000
metric tons, thus showing that more
than half the sugar used in commerce
is extracted from the beet. The man.
ufacture of beet-sugar is entirely
European industry. Mr.. Dodge states
that its success in Europe is largely
due to the ''beet-stock' plan,
where each shareholder in the
stock of beet-sugar factory
is required to furnish so many
beets per share. The farmers are
therefore, in reality, the manufacturers,
and, since they obtain the profits of the
manufacture, they are the most inter-
ested in raising good beets at NOM
inal price. The total consumption of
sugar in this country in 1885 was /, 245,-
STA tons, of which only 10000 tons Cor
about three per cent. were produced
here. There is only one beet-sugar
factory in this country, and that is in
California, which produces sugar at
five cents per pound, and has to COM
pete with free sugar from the Sand
wich islands, The report further
states that our sugar-consumption
amounts to about one-fourth Of
all the sugar reported from the
countries of principal production, and
that within twenty-five years more than
2,OO0 600 tons will be required, almost
sufficient to swallow up the present
production of beet-sugar, or the whole,
of the present cane-sugar Of commerce.
The report concludes as follows: AT
a time when labor is in excess OF de-
mand, and corn and wheat and cotton.
and other old staples of primitive
agriculture, exceed the wants of do
nestle and foreign markets, we scour
the world for root-products costing
more than 5000, 600 900 per annum, the
larger portion of which should be pro-
duced in the United States. This prim-
tive and unenterprising situation must
be surmounted by more skilful.

''I see that you've cut your eye
teeth, my boy he said, with an ap-
proving smile, land it's always well to
be on ones guard, while there is so
much dishonesty in the world. On the
WHOLE continued Mr.. Jones, after an
instant's reflection. ''your plan is best,
so suppose we have breakfast together
at a restaurant first of all, and then I'll
take You up to the office where Rich
ards is"
"All right" returned Tad. briefly,
with more particular reference to the
certainties of something to eat, what
ever other uncertainties might be in
store for him. And, secretly, Tad felt
quite able to take care of himself,
even though every thing was not all
right-which he had no particularly
well-defined reasons for doubling.
As they walked along together
through the busy thoroughfares Mr..
Jones chatted agreeably of the men and
things encountered on the way. He
hoped Tad would not get cold through
the sudden change of climate, as the raw
easterly wind swept sharply round the
corners of the irregular streets, and he
even offered to carry the sachel for him,
so that Tad might keep his hands warm
by putting them in his pockets. But
Tad replied: Oh, no-he didn't mind
the wind; he guessed he could stand it
as well as other fellows could that went
round the Hub"
Mr.. Jones, with his perpetual smile,
said something about a ''capital pun,
and led the way into large eating
house, where, at the lunch-counter,
Tad speedily began discussing a break
fast which was proportional to his ap-
petite-thanks to Mr.. Jones, who HIM
self seemed to do ample justice to the
coffee, cakes, beefsteak and fried pota-
toes which he had ordered for both.
But, hungry though he was, Tad did
not forget to occasionally glance from
the corner of his eye at the little sachel
on the counter, near his plate. He had
fully decided not to let it 60 out of his
keeping for one moment, until it was
returned to the proper owner.
Curiously enough, Mr.. Jones. who
sat next him, occasionally glanced in
the same direction from the corner of
his eye. Though, after all, this was
not so surprising on the part of the
partner of Richards, the absent-mind-
ed. He was probably thinking of the
law-papers contained in the sachel.
All at once, Tad, with his mouth full
of buttered roll, looked up, uttered an
exclamation, and, slipping from his
stool, hurried toward the door,
through which Mr.. Jones-who had
thrown down his checks, together with
silver dollar, as he went by the cash
ier's desk--was passing. His head was
bent as if in deep thought, and in his
hand was the a1ligator-skin sachel.
